Li Cheng waved his hand to let the villagers go to rest, everyone was tired after a busy night, and no one knew what would happen tomorrow, so they had to seize the time to recharge their energy in order to deal with more changes.

Without waiting for the villagers to disperse completely, Li Cheng turned his head to look at Li Xinchen: "Xinchen, you come with me." ”

Li Cheng said this while rubbing something in his hand, this is just that thing is not big, unless he keeps watching the movements in Li Cheng's hand, I am afraid that no one will notice this.

In the middle of the night, I don't know how many mountain roads I have run, and Li Xinchen's legs are like they are filled with lead, and he can't lift them at all. Even compared with his previous life, his physical fitness has improved by leaps and bounds, but he can't stand such a rush, and even several times he is struggling on the line of life and death.

However, hearing Li Cheng shouting to himself, Li Xinchen still cheered up and walked quickly to Li Cheng's side. After hesitating, Li Cheng turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall.

Because the villagers had already dispersed, there was no one else in the ancestral hall except for the two young men standing guard at the door, and Li Cheng took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, the dark ancestral hall was illuminated by the light of the torches, and the names on each tablet seemed to come alive at this moment, looking at the two people who walked into the ancestral hall.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Li Xinchen looked at Li Cheng with some surprise, there were so many things to do tonight, of course Li Xinchen knew that the three old men in charge of affairs in the village would definitely look for him, but he didn't expect that Li Cheng was not with Old Man Song and Old Man Zheng, but secretly called him over alone.

Although Li Xinchen doesn't want to speculate now, he can detect it to some extent, and things don't seem to be as simple as he imagined.

Li Cheng said in a deep voice: "Do you know who this guy you arrested today is? ”

Li Xinchen was stunned: "The bandits all call this person a military advisor, and it seems that he has a transcendent status among the bandits, otherwise these bandits would not dare to act rashly after the child caught him, and they didn't even come to attack the village until now." ”

Sighing, Li Cheng put the things he had been rubbing in his hands on the table: "I can't blame you either, this military advisor is just a name for him to cover his original identity among the bandits, this person is the shogunate staff of the Northern Zhou Dynasty general Wang Rail, we searched him just now, and found out Wang Rail's token, which is this piece." ”

"What?!" Li Xinchen trembled, this military advisor is really not a small one.

Li Cheng raised his head slightly, recalled: "Although fifty years have passed, the world has changed, but after all, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was split from the Northern Wei Dynasty, so the style of this token is not much different from the style of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the front of the token is written with the word Wang, and the back is the word Zhou, and the token style is not common in the Northern Dynasty, indicating that this token belongs to the general who holds the real power of the party to command the army, when we followed General Chen to fight in the south and the north, I only saw it once in the hands of the general Qiu Daqian, the general of the Northern Dynasty, this token should be true······ What's more, there are few people in the world who have the courage to imitate this token. ”

Although he is in the village, Li Xinchen is not ignorant of the outside, first, he has a certain amount of historical knowledge, and secondly, the village will send people to nearby towns every once in a while to buy--this group of bandits is likely to follow this little clue - so they will also inquire about the news outside.

At this time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had just annexed the Northern Qi Dynasty, although the national strength was strong, but because of the great war, the army needed to rest, and the Southern Chen was the third monarch of the second generation Chen Ji reigned, although Chen Xuan was not a Ming master, but he was also quite ambitious, plus the Southern Chen had Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha two generals in front, so it was comparable to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even won more with less many times, and fought impressively.

And the two sides also fought a bloody battle in the Luliang area of Lianghuai in this year, and Xiao Maha led twelve people - yes, twelve people - into the main village of Yuwenxin, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and broke Yuwenxin's department, and became famous in a battle. The unwilling Northern Zhou - tens of thousands of troops were ravaged by twelve people, and it would be strange if they were willing - continued to dispatch troops, with the general Wang Liang as the vanguard to continue to attack Lüliang, because the two sides were evenly matched, so a confrontation was formed in this area.

Although the main force has never had a decisive battle, bloody battles between scouts and partial divisions have occurred every day. As for all kinds of small actions, it goes without saying.

Since this military advisor has the ability to carry Wang Rail's token with him, there is a chance that he is Wang Rail's cronies, which is also in line with Li Cheng's speculation. What's more, he appeared among the bandits, and his purpose was naturally self-evident.

Although this piece of land is on the front line of the battle between the two armies, it belongs to the territory of the two sides, but because of the great victory of Xiao Maha Luliang before, Nan Chen's army has moved forward and included this piece of land close to Lu Liang into the scope, and the surrounding states and counties are naturally owned by Nan Chen.

Such a disgraceful thing as robbing houses and houses is naturally not suitable for the army to do directly, so it is naturally handed over to the bandits who are active in the surrounding area - in these two areas, the least they can do is the bandits roaring in the green forest, relying on their actions to completely disturb the peace of this area.

For the bandits, robbing houses was originally their forte, and now they can also get praise from the Northern Dynasty, even if they are really surrounded and suppressed by Nan Chen, they can withdraw into the protection of the Northern Zhou army, why not?

Obviously, this group of bandits did this, and Li Xinchen gradually understood why it was such a military division and not the leader of the bandits who led them, in order to ensure the credibility of the bandits, this leader was to stay in the states and counties controlled by the Northern Zhou Dynasty or the army camp as a hostage, and handed over his subordinates to these staff sent by Wang Rail to lead.

"Daddy, ······ so" Li Xinchen gritted his teeth, and also understood why Li Cheng talked to him alone, probably to avoid causing panic in the village, so let him know alone, "I'm afraid we're going to catch fire this time?" ”

Under the moonlight, Li Cheng's face was also solemn: "I originally thought that these bandits were just some rangers who came to rob homes and houses, but who knew that so many people were involved······ But it's come to this point, it's useless to say anything else, the key is how to defeat these guys, whether they are just a group of bandits, or Beizhou standing behind them, we have to protect ourselves. ”

After a pause, Li Cheng slowly looked up at the bright moon outside the window: "Don't say anything else, if General Chen is alive, I don't want to watch his subordinates bow their heads and admit defeat in front of the Northern Dynasty barbarians." ”
